Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a lower-carb option)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- STEP 1: PREHEAT AND PREPAREPreheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
- STEP 2: BLEND THE COTTAGE CHEESEIn a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. This helps create a uniform texture in the dough.
- STEP 3: MIX THE DOUGHIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil. Add in the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and seasonings. Stir until well combined. The dough should be soft but not too sticky—if needed, add a little more flour.
- STEP 4: SHAPE THE FLATBREADDivide the dough into 2-3 portions (depending on the size you want). Place a piece of parchment paper on a clean surface, sprinkle with a little flour, and roll each portion into a thin, oval shape. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- STEP 5: BAKE THE FLATBREADBake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- STEP 6: ENJOY!Serve warm as a wrap, pizza base, or dipper for hummus or soups. Store leftovers in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
For a crispier flatbread, bake a little longer or finish it in a dry skillet for a minute per side.
Make it dairy-free by using a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
Use almond flour for a keto-friendly version.
